1 Jesus told them this story to encourage them to pray at all times, and not to become discouraged.
1 Y PROPÚSOLES también una parábola sobre que es necesario orar siempre, y no desmayar,
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 “Once there was a judge in this particular town who didn't respect God or care about anyone,” Jesus explained.
2 Diciendo: Había un juez en una ciudad, el cual ni temía á Dios, ni respetaba á hombre.
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 “In the same town lived a widow who time and again went to the judge, saying, ‘Give me justice in the case against my enemy!’
3 Había también en aquella ciudad una viuda, la cual venía á él diciendo: Hazme justicia de mi adversario.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 For a while he didn't want to do anything about it, but eventually he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't respect God or care about anyone,
4 Pero él no quiso por algún tiempo; mas después de esto dijo dentro de sí: Aunque ni temo á Dios, ni tengo respeto á hombre,
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 this widow is so annoying I'll make sure she receives justice. Then she won't wear me out by her coming to see me so often.’
5 Todavía, porque esta viuda me es molesta, le haré justicia, porque al fin no venga y me muela.
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 Listen to what even an unjust judge decided,” said the Lord.
6 Y dijo el Señor: Oid lo que dice el juez injusto.
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 “Don't you think that God will make sure his chosen people receive justice, those who cry out to him day and night? Do you think he will make them wait?
7 ¿Y Dios no hará justicia á sus escogidos, que claman á él día y noche, aunque sea longánime acerca de ellos?
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 No, I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. However, when the Son of man comes, will he find people on earth who trust in him?”
8 Os digo que los defenderá presto. Empero cuando el Hijo del hombre viniere, ¿hallará fe en la tierra?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 He also told this story about those who are so sure that they are living right, and who put everybody else down.
9 Y dijo también á unos que confiaban de sí como justos, y menospreciaban á los otros, esta parábola:
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
10 Dos hombres subieron al templo á orar: el uno Fariseo, el otro publicano.
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood up and prayed to himself, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—cheats, criminals, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
11 El Fariseo, en pie, oraba consigo de esta manera: Dios, te doy gracias, que no soy como los otros hombres, ladrones, injustos, adúlteros, ni aun como este publicano;
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week, and I pay tithe on my income.’
12 Ayuno dos veces á la semana, doy diezmos de todo lo que poseo.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 But the tax collector stood at a distance. He wouldn't even look up to heaven. Instead he beat his chest and prayed, ‘God, please be merciful to me. I am a sinner.’
13 Mas el publicano estando lejos no quería ni aun alzar los ojos al cielo, sino que hería su pecho, diciendo: Dios, sé propicio á mí pecador.
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
14 I tell you, it was this man who went home right in God's sight and not the other. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, while those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
14 Os digo que éste descendió á su casa justificado antes que el otro; porque cualquiera que se ensalza, será humillado; y el que se humilla, será ensalzado.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Parents were bringing their infants to Jesus to have him bless them by his touch. When the disciples saw what was happening, they tried to stop them.
15 Y traían á él los niños para que los tocase; lo cual viendo los discípulos les reñían.
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called the children to him. “Let the little children come to me,” he said. “Don't prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like them.
16 Mas Jesús llamándolos, dijo: Dejad los niños venir á mí, y no los impidáis; porque de tales es el reino de Dios.
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
17 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
17 De cierto os digo, que cualquiera que no recibiere el reino de Dios como un niño, no entrará en él.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
18 One of the rulers came to Jesus and asked him, “Good Teacher, what do I have to do to inherit eternal life?”
18 Y preguntóle un príncipe, diciendo: Maestro bueno, ¿qué haré para poseer la vida eterna?
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good, only God.
19 Y Jesús le dijo: ¿Por qué me llamas bueno? ninguno hay bueno sino sólo Dios.
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 You know the commandments: do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.”
20 Los mandamientos sabes: No matarás: No adulterarás: No hurtarás: No dirás falso testimonio: Honra á tu padre y á tu madre.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
21 “I've kept all these commandments since I was young,” the man replied.
21 Y él dijo: Todas estas cosas he guardado desde mi juventud.
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 When Jesus heard this he told the man, “You still lack one thing. Go and sell all you have, give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me!”
22 Y Jesús, oído esto, le dijo: Aun te falta una cosa: vende todo lo que tienes, y da á los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo; y ven, sígueme.
22 When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
23 But when the man heard this he became very sad, for he was very wealthy.
23 Entonces él, oídas estas cosas, se puso muy triste, porque era muy rico.
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 When he saw his reaction, Jesus said, “How difficult it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
24 Y viendo Jesús que se había entristecido mucho, dijo: ¡Cuán dificultosamente entrarán en el reino de Dios los que tienen riquezas!
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 Porque más fácil cosa es entrar un camello por el ojo de una aguja, que un rico entrar en el reino de Dios.
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
26 Those who heard this wondered, “Who can be saved then?”
26 Y los que lo oían, dijeron: ¿Y quién podrá ser salvo?
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible in human terms is possible for God.”
27 Y él [les] dijo: Lo que es imposible para con los hombres, posible es para Dios.
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Peter said, “We left everything to follow you!”
28 Entonces Pedro dijo: He aquí, nosotros hemos dejado las posesiones nuestras, y te hemos seguido.
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus told them, “anybody who leaves behind their home, wife, brothers, parents, or children for the sake of God's kingdom
29 Y él les dijo: De cierto os digo, que nadie hay que haya dejado casa, padres, ó hermanos, ó mujer, ó hijos, por el reino de Dios,
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
30 will receive so much more in this life, and eternal life in the world to come.”
30 Que no haya de recibir mucho más en este tiempo, y en el siglo venidero la vida eterna.
30 who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”
31 Jesus took the twelve disciples aside, and told them, “We're going to Jerusalem, and all that the prophets wrote about the Son of man will be fulfilled.
31 Y Jesús, tomando á los doce, les dijo: He aquí subimos á Jerusalem, y serán cumplidas todas las cosas que fueron escritas por los profetas, del Hijo del hombre.
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
32 He will be handed over to the foreigners, he will be mocked, insulted, and spat upon.
32 Porque será entregado á las gentes, y será escarnecido, é injuriado, y escupido.
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 They will flog him and kill him, but on the third day he will rise again.”
33 Y después que le hubieren azotado, le matarán: mas al tercer día resucitará.
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 But they didn't understand anything Jesus told them. The meaning was hidden from them and they didn't grasp what he was talking about.
34 Pero ellos nada de estas cosas entendían, y esta palabra les era encubierta, y no entendían lo que se decía.
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting beside the road begging.
35 Y aconteció que acercándose él á Jericó, un ciego estaba sentado junto al camino mendigando;
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 He heard the crowd going past, so he asked what was happening.
36 El cual como oyó la gente que pasaba, preguntó qué era aquello.
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”
37 Y dijéronle que pasaba Jesús Nazareno.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 He called out, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy on me!”
38 Entonces dió voces, diciendo: Jesús, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí.
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Those at the front of the crowd told him to stop shouting and be quiet, but he only shouted louder, “Son of David, please have mercy on me!”
39 Y los que iban delante, le reñían que callase; mas él clamaba mucho más: Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí.
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Jesus stopped and told them to bring the blind man to him. As he came over, Jesus asked him,
40 Jesús entonces parándose, mandó traerle á sí: y como él llegó, le preguntó,
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord, please, I want to see,” he pleaded.
41 Diciendo: ¿Qué quieres que te haga? Y él dijo: Señor, que vea.
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 “Then see!” Jesus told him. “Your trust in me has healed you.”
42 Y Jesús le dijo: Ve, tu fe te ha hecho salvo.
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 Immediately the man could see. He followed Jesus, praising God. Everyone there who saw what happened also praised God.
43 Y luego vió, y le seguía, glorificando á Dios: y todo el pueblo como lo vió, dió á Dios alabanza.
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
The lesson of the Holy Gospel builds us up unto the duty of praying and believing, and of not putting our trust in ourselves, but in the Lord. What greater encouragement to prayer than the parable which is proposed to us of the unjust judge?

And to the person who said to Him, "Good Master," He confessed that God who is truly good, saying, "Why callest thou Me good: there is One who is good, the Father in the heavens;" and they assert that in this passage the Æons receive the name of heavens.
It were well for him to imitate the Publican, and not swell as the Pharisee, "who went up into the temple," and boasted of his deserts, and covered up his wounds.
